InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inu no Ningyou ❯ Prologue Part Three ( Chapter 2 )

A/N : hopefully I wrote that correctly to mean `Dog Doll'. An odd tale about Inuyasha as a doll, a plushie in fact. Haven't yet decided if it will be dark-dark or not. Looking for an evil B-word Kikyou? Nope, she's not here. Looking for Inu/Kik romance - also not here, I'm a Inu/Kag shipper all the way. Looking for a sexual molester Miroku? Won't find him here. In this story he Respects Women - but he will be hentai with Sango, his wife.

 

WARNING: Much OOC-ness!!Contains Distrubingimages notfor the sensitive!! May contain lemons in later chapters. Will contain ecchi (limey parts and strawberries) Will be swearing.

 

It's my first try at a multi-chaptered story and an AU at that!

 

A Very HUGE Thank you to the totally amazing writer Silent Sky (You Rock) who graciously gave me permission to use her idea of Telepathy in my story. Thank you so very much! Thank you to my dear friend KnittingKnots for providing me with the “Spell/Chant” that Kikyou screams that changes Inuyasha.

 

 

 

 

Inu no Ningyou

 

Prologue Part Three

 

 

 

 

 

The battle had gone on for too long, they were beginning to lose their physical strength equally because of the blood loss and just sheer exhaustion. But they would never allow the Creature before them to enter the village - the horrors, death and desolate waste it would leave in its wake - unthinkable! They had to stop it here and now. InuYasha was currently facing the Evil that was (or can it be still?) Onigumo but at a short dash distance apart. Kikyou was standing on shaky legs much further away from where she had landed when her beloved Onigumo had thrown her with his last attack.

 

 

InuYasha was sweating and panting with effort and pain, his fangs clenched tightly together as his clawed hands tighten their grip on the blood slickened tsukaito and ho. The once brilliant silver thick fur that resided in place of the tsuba now a dripping red as his blood soaked the fur and weighed it down. His own blood. It dripped and trickled down his sides, his arms, his legs. . . It dripped off his chin and made streaks of bright red in his luxurious silvery mane. His ears plastered tightly to his skull escaped the bloody colouring job. His body was battered and bruised, he knew he had at least two cracked ribs and a quickly swelling cheek.

 

He knew Kikyou was seriously if not gravely injured. He didn't catch the actual talon ended tentacle that slashed open Kikyou's shoulder and back but he caught her blood scent as it suddenly exploded into the air about them mixing swiftly with his own blood scent. It put him into a rage, his pack sister was wounded and needed help. He needed to get her to a healer and fast if she was to have any chance of survival.

 

“Kikyou!! Back the fuck off! Go get yourself help! I'm okay! I'll take care of this bastard in no time at all!!” he roared at his dearest pack sister. He was glad she couldn't scent the lies that came from his mouth as he could feel his strength and life ebbing away with each drop that fell to the earth about him.

 

This battle had to end now!

 

The combined blood scents were driving the Inu hanyou insane with his rage making him reckless in his attacks. Taking chances that lead to more wounds upon his body. He prepared himself for one final attack. He wished his sword had more abilities, more attacks in which he protect his friends, his pack. He could feel his Tessaiga as it sought to aid him in his desperate time of need. . . but it seemed that there was a seal upon his fabled fanged sword. A seal he had no time to figure out nor break. A seal that prevented his victory and Kikyou's survival.

 

 

 

 

Kikyou steeled herself against the rending pain and centered herself. This was going to be the final bit of her strength - both physical and spiritual. Inuyasha was losing the battle with her one time beloved, his mighty fang-like sword steadily getting lower and lower to the ground with each minute the battle ensued. The puddles of blood about his body getting bigger and when her once-beloved prepared to strike the killing blow with a massive amount of Dark Priest Spiritual power and evil jyaki, Kikyou knew what needed to be done.

 

Channelling everything she had left into her last arrow, she pulled the bow string back further than she had before. It had to be perfect! Inuyasha had to survive! He was her dearest friend and companion. A brother-in-arms in battle and he had so much to live for. She let her lifeblood soak onto the arrow shaft and head embedding her life force to the powers she was concentrating. Inuyasha might be, no will be so very upset with her once he awakens from this spell but at least he'll be alive! He hasn't met his true love and soul mate yet! Kikyou has had visions of his future, of his true love and knows he destined for even greater things. She is waiting for him and will need him for her future and her heart. As she concentrated her powers, Kikyou prayed that Kaede would get the scroll in time and understand what needed to be done.

 

Kikyou let her powers build and build until she reached the threshold of no return and went screaming past it for her powers. If she were not already dying from her grievous shoulder and chest wounds this burst of power would have killed her. Every fibre of her being including her soul was feeling like it was being unravelled slowly and set on fire. She wanted to scream out her agony to the heavens and seven hells to hear. But she kept her mouth tightly screwed shut.

 

In her mind, she chanted the spell that would save Inuyasha's life with the strike of her arrow.

 

`NAMO BHAGAVATE
TRAILOKYA PRATIVISISTAYA
BUDDHAYA BHAGAVATE.
TADYATHA, OM,
VISUDDHAYA-VISUDDHAYA,
ASAMA-SAMA
SAMANTAVABHASA- SPHARANA
GATI GAHANA SVABHAVA VISUDDHE,
ABHINSINCATU MAM.'

 

 

With each repetition of the spell in her mind, it grew louder and louder, more powerful than the previous chant and strength.

 

`NAMO BHAGAVATE
TRAILOKYA PRATIVISISTAYA
BUDDHAYA BHAGAVATE!
TADYATHA, OM,
VISUDDHAYA-VISUDDHAYA,
ASAMA-SAMA
SAMANTAVABHASA- SPHARANA
GATI GAHANA SVABHAVA VISUDDHE,
ABHINSINCATU MAM!'

 

She had to wait -oh, gods, the pain- she could feel her very bones inside her body cracking and splintering apart. She had to wait for the perfect moment. Please Kami, oh sweet Kami above, please let it be now. . .

 

 

Then she could see the perfect moment happen as if in slow motion. The monstrosity unleashed its final strike of power along with its tentacles into InuYasha's body and she struck herself as the two bodies were temporarily connected.

 

Kikyou let fly the super charged arrow glowing a neon lava crimson colour with her blood and powers. Its flight scorching the very air in its path leaving a sooty trail behind and it struck true. Hitting Inuyasha in the back making the Inu hanyou arc his back, throw his arms wide out to the side, and scream in tormented agony before the arrow burst through his chest to enter the tentacle so both were equally pierced. Kikyou screamed as powerfully as she could with her final breath.

 

 

“NAMO BHAGAVATE
TRAILOKYA PRATIVISISTAYA
BUDDHAYA BHAGAVATE!!!
TADYATHA, OM,
VISUDDHAYA-VISUDDHAYA,
ASAMA-SAMA
SAMANTAVABHASA- SPHARANA
GATI GAHANA SVABHAVA VISUDDHE,
ABHINSINCATU MAM!!!”

 

 

And the world went nuclear white.

 

The star-burst blast was so powerful that once the smoke cleared away in several days time a huge crater would remain. Of Kikyou, she had coughed up dark blood and fell face forward into the pool of her slowly drying blood, dead. Her eyes glazed over and a soft smile on her face. Of InuYasha, there was no sign except a rather oddly pristine silvery hair caught on a branch of a low bush. Of Onigumo, Kikyou's beloved and the creature he became there was an just oily slick residue left that the villagers buried swiftly in fear of touching it would cause evil to befall them.

 

Buried much too quickly in their fear and completely forgetting the need for prayer and seals upon the site. The villagers left just as quickly taking with them the body of their beloved priestess Kikyou. No one looked once behind them. If they had, they would have seen something that would frighten them more. The ground pulsed and moved like a heartbeat for a moment before stilling again.

 

The funeral was held and Kikyou's body was burned in honour and her ashes spread about the village perimeter so she may continue to protect her village even after death.

 

Kaede the eldest at 10 years old lead her many siblings back to their hut accompanied by silent grieving. The little ones barely old enough to walk for long periods wouldn't understand why Mother, Father and Big Dog Brother weren't going to return. . . ever.
